Abstract
The purposes of this research study were to investigate rational antibiotic use behavior, selection factors related to rational antibiotic use behavior and selection factors affecting the rational antibiotic use behavior of nursing students based on the theoretical framework of knowledge, attitude and behavior.14 The sample consisted of 328 nursing students in the academic year 2020 at Boromarajonani College of Nursing, Surin, which were obtained by stratified random sampling. The research instruments comprised 4 parts: 1) demographic data, 2) knowledge of antibiotic use, 3) attitude towards antibiotic use, and 4) rational antibiotic use behavior; with content validity between .67 and 1.00. The overall reliability of the questionnaires, using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, was equal to .89. The data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation and multiple regression analysis. The results revealed as follows. Rational antibiotic use behavior of nursing students at Boromarajonani College of Nursing, Surin had the mean score of rational antibiotic use behavior for overall at a good level ( X =4.07, SD=.72).The relationship between each factor and rational antibiotic use behavior found that age, knowledge of antibiotic use and attitude towards antibiotic use had a positive correlation with statistical significance at .01 level, with correlation coefficient between .22 and .70. For selected factors affecting rational antibiotic use behaviors among nursing students, it was found that attitudes toward antibiotic use, age and knowledge of antibiotic use, can explain the variance of rational antibiotic use behavior at 51.90 percent with statistical significance at the level of .01 (R2=.52, p<.01) which creates a model of multiple regression equation by creating the equation in the form of the standardized coefficients as follow Ŷ=.61 (attitude towards antibiotic use)+.17 (knowledge of antibiotic use)+.10 (age).
